Hyundai is becoming increasingly known for daring designs, and the company's compact sedan, the 2021 Elantra, is the latest to receive a bold new look. The new Elantra sports angular exterior details and an upscale cabin, both of which are intended to pull focus away from the segment's heavy hitters—namely the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Nissa...

The Elantra is offered as a hybrid for the first time and it earned an EPA rating as high as 56 mpg highway. A performance N Line variant is also be part of the 2021 Elantra lineup and goes toe-t...
The standard nonhybrid powertrain is a carryover from the previous generation. These Elantras will be powered by a 147-hp four-cylinder engine. Front-wheel drive is the only option here, as is a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The hybrid model uses a 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with an electric motor to make 139 horsepower. G...

An optional 10.3-inch digital gauge display rubs elbows with a second 10.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that sprouts from the top of the Elantra's dashboard. The standard infotainment setup is an 8.0-inch center display and analog gauges for the instrument cluster. Hyundai's latest infotainment interface takes center stage here. Apple CarPlay and ...
Driver-assistance features are on the menu and many of them are offered as standard.

Key safety features include: 1. Standard automated emergency braking with pedes...
The 2021 Elantra comes standard with Hyundai's legendary 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The only competitor that can match the new Elantra in terms of standard warranty protection is its corporate sibling, the Kia Forte; although it should be noted that while Hyundai offers three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, Kia does not...
